Love & Jane - Hallmark - 2024
Alison Sweeney is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses. She always delivers an excellent product. Benjamin Ayres is another Hallmark staple. I'm sorry to say that I didn't feel the chemistry between them on-screen. The romance fell flat; I blame casting, it should have been obvious.
The movie itself had an interesting & entertaining plot. Jane Austen appears to help Lilly when she's having trouble with a PR campaign & doubts about the writing career she put on hold. Everyone has to pay the bills & it's got to be scary to take a leap into possible homelessness & have no insurance. The Jane character wasn't up on current computer lingo but she wasn't very surprised either. If you go around helping people a couple of hundred years in the future I suppose you take it in your stride. I'd watch it again for the interaction between Lilly & Jane but I'm not buying the DVD.
